Keri Wolf has joined the crew of The Seekers, a show that searches for paranormal phenomena, as they explore a supposedly haunted old inn on the road between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. The place is famous for its warm welcome--and infamous for being the site of an ax murder rampage in the 1920s. They've barely begun when a very real dead body is discovered in the basement. As a nonfiction author, Keri is supposed to be the rational one, but she can't explain a terrifying apparition that seems to be both a threat and a warning.

Former detective Joe Dunhill knows what she's going through--the strange gift of being able to see and talk to the dead is a struggle he shares. A new member of the FBI's Krewe of Hunters, he's on the team investigating the disturbing death. The town is steeped in old-fashioned superstition, and the deeper Joe and Keri plunge into the dark secrets of the inn, the closer they get to a devastating truth. Will a bloody history be repeated? Or can the spirits of the past reach out to stop a killer?

The Seekers is book 28 in the Krewe Hunters series by Heather Graham. I have never read anything by this author but my dad raves about her so when given the opportunity to read this book I jumped at the chance. Although this is along way into a long series I had absolutely no trouble following the story and the characters. In fact I feel the need to now go back to where it all began and read the series from the start. For me this was a very quick and fun read but not without its drama and gore. I really enjoyed my first Heather Graham read.

The Krewe Hunters are a group of agents which special abilities - they see and feel things that other people don't. After the brutal and ritualistic murder of a female FBI agent who was working on a kidnapping of a teenager, the Hunters are called in for their expertise. The victim was found in the basement of an old haunted house where historical non fiction writer Kerri is working with a group of ghost hunters on a web series. The crime scenes shows similarities with murders for the 1920's in the very same house. A story of paranormal activity, ghosts, murder and even a love story. This book has something for everyone and is definitely worth picking up.

Thanks to Netgalley and Harelquin MIRA US and Canada for my advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased.

The Seekers is a show that searches for paranormal phenomena and Keri Wolf, a non-fiction writer, has joined the crew to investigate an old inn on the road between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. The strange gift of being able to see and talk to the dead is a struggle that Keri and former detective Joe Dunhill shares and as a new member of the FBI’s Krewe of Hunters, he’s sent in to investigate when Keri and the crew discover a very real body in the basement.

Another fantastic ghostly suspense from this bestselling author, one that sends delightful shivers down the spine and has readers biting their nails in anticipation. All the characters are strong and very vivid which makes it easy for readers to become completely caught up in the story and as for Joe and Keri, well their chemistry is strong and sizzles with lots of intensity. Their relationship is sweet and moves right along, despite all the happenings during the investigation and a makes quite a cheery contrast to the suspense of the plot.

The plot takes place at the perfect pace to build up the suspense as clues to the past are hard to come by and the spirits of the past are there to help. Heather Graham has gift for providing the right details and a wonderful setting for her stories which make it easy for readers to picture the story as it happens. Solving the crimes of the past to solve the crimes of the present makes the plot a bit complex and very intriguing and with unexpected surprises filling this adrenaline pumping story, there is no way for the readers to guess who the culprit is.

I haven’t read any of Heather Graham’s previous Krewe of Hunters books, but it was easy enough to pick up that the Krewe are a team of FBI agents who work on crimes outside the usual and who have abilities that are more than the usual as well. Joe, the male protagonist of this book, is a former Savannah cop in the process of joining the Krewe after a ghost helped him solve his last case. Acting as a consultant at the moment, he’s sent with a more experienced Krewe agent to investigate the murder of another FBI agent in a supposedly haunted inn, in the middle of an investigation by a team of paranormal Youtube hunters. Keri, the female protag, is an author of historical crime nonfiction, who sees a ghost and discovers the murdered agent’s body at almost the same time.

Joe and Keri get off to a pretty bad start but soon come to respect each other, and there are obvious sparks of attraction flying between them from the beginning. I liked that Keri was the one to actually make a move and do something about it finally; Joe was very much a gentleman.

It’s a really interesting storyline with events of the 1920s leading to clues to the present-day crime, but the author does tend to infodump at times with what felt like entire Wiki entries being dropped into the text to explain things like the Amish Rumspringa, the Salem witch trials and other events and traditions. It got very tedious about the time that Joe was telling Keri that Benjamin Franklin was the only man to sign the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris and the US Constitution. Seriously? A former Savannah cop explaining that to a historical researcher? Infodump to the audience to show off the author’s knowledge at best, condescending by a male character at worst. From there on in, I practically winced every time any character said “Did you know…?”

I’m giving this one three stars. Decent storyline, an ending which was difficult to predict, but all of it made frustrating by constant infodumping. I’ve no doubt the author does do a lot of research to help make her fiction feel more authentic, but she really doesn’t need to share all of her knowledge with the audience.

Whatever Heather Graham writes is alwaysbrilliant! This story line so far was my favorite.Although I've absolutely loved every one ofthe Krewe of Hunters books. Such a rivetingstory and so much history. I love that aboutthis series. Each book has lots of history. Ilove the drama, humour, and romance ofEach and every book.

Love the way personal relationships are weaved into the plot,actually making things more believable! I enjoy the generating of relationships, be it work,friend,or lover,there are feelings going back and forth with the characters that make the plot that much more important to solve .great page turning crimes to solve,love to be gained,friends to be protected,people becoming immersed into the culture of seeing the dead and being helped into acceptance of it all

I can't say that there is every anything that I don't like in regard to Ms Graham's writing she keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat till the very end and keeps you guessing on who the bad guys is. Happy Reading if you love a great mystery with a lot of suspense and good old fashion of someone trying to scare you then Heather is your lady. Thanks Heather can't wait for the next one.

This is a sequel to the Summoning. It was exciting to have the previous characters included in this one. Carl, the actor, bought an old historical and haunted, tavern and had a paranormal seeking crew come in. When a body of an agent is found on an altar in the basement, Dallas of the Krew Hunters is called in by Carl. Naturally, there is a beautiful woman, who is a writer, also involved. The creepy, gory, ghostly parts are all played out as only Graham can add. Romance? Of course. A very good read. Now, on to the next book in this trilogy.

I have been a Heather Graham fan for many years, having read all of her books. However, I believe I have read the last one. The plot has remained the same book after book. Different characters but same plot. There are so many avenues the author could pursue. What about the FBI agent who has worked with the Krewe but can't handle it any longer. Speaking to the dead could lead to depression etc. We could still have a happy ending. I am so sorry to lose one of my go to authors.

This is another winner. This is my favorite series and author. I have read over 200 of her books and this series is my favorite. This author writes wonderful characters with wonderful love stories of the FBI and their partners chasing the bad guys with the help of ghosts. I highly recommend all her books and especially this series. Diana Romano

This one kept me guessing for a long time which is what I want in a mystery. I was half way through the book and was convinced that everyone had done it. I love the setting in PA and the characters. I remember Joe and Dallas and Carl from other books, so that also makes the story new and not new. I will read them as long as she writes them

I would read a menu if you wrote it. I have been reading all your books forever. I am a huge fan of the Krew and the Fennigan series. I have read novels and novellas. I have this book preordered for a long time as well as the rest in this series. Thank you for hours and weeks and years of great entertainment

I would have given this story a 5 except for the sentence "Philadelphia is really a big city you know," Keri told Carl as they drove.Joe and Keri were driving & the sentence before that they said goodbye to Carl. Pretty hard to miss that in my opinion. Other than that I enjoyed this story.

I know... how many tales of the paranormal can you stand before it all gets trite? I don’t know because I love the Krew Of Hunters books. This time, some of our favorite and familiar characters are together. There’s murder, mayhem, mystery and romance so what’s not to love?

I love all of Heather's books. Her writings bring her characters to life and in a great way. Whether they are good or evil they are realistic. Can hardly wait for the next story. The worst part, is when the story ends and you have to wait for the next book. May the writing muse always be there for you guide you to your next story.

It's a typical, what I call a "Pararomystery", by Graham. Or so I thought at the beginning of the book. This story has much more substance to it. As usual the clues were there but I was still kind of surprised at the end. Very enjoyable read!
